Bernie Sanders is not going away anytime soon
- 8 years ago
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, responding to reports President Barack Obama called on Democrats to rally around Hillary Clinton as the likely nominee, said on Thursday it was “absurd” to suggest he drop out of the race.
Clinton, a former secretary of state in the Obama administration, has a large lead in the race for the Democratic nomination and she won all five states that were contested on Tuesday.
“To suggest we don’t fight this out to the end would be, I think, a very bad mistake.
People want to become engaged in the political process by having vigorous primary and caucus process.
I think we open up the possibility of having a large voter turnout in November.
That is exactly what we need,” Sanders said.
